This was such an easy stress free experience. I have taken many airport transfers and this was by far the easiest and most efficient experience I have ever had. The communication was frequent and proactive. I cannot say enough about this company. 100% recommend

RydAgent prices: every fixed fare on one page
RydAgent charges one fixed, all-inclusive price per vehicle, not per person — ¥24,000 from Narita to central Tokyo and ¥16,000 from Haneda for up to 4 passengers, the same at any hour of the day or night.
Quick answer
RydAgent prices are fixed per vehicle and all-inclusive. Narita Airport to central Tokyo is ¥24,000 in a Toyota Alphard (up to 4 passengers) or ¥30,000 in a Toyota HiAce (up to 9 passengers); Haneda to central Tokyo is ¥16,000 / ¥20,000; Kansai Airport to Osaka is ¥19,000 / ¥24,000. Expressway tolls, parking, fuel and taxes are inside the price, with no night, holiday or peak-season surcharge. Free waiting is 90 minutes from your actual landing on airport pickups and 30 minutes on every other ride, station pickups included. A RydAgent private driver by the hour starts at ¥7,000/hour for an Alphard (8-hour minimum). Anything else is either an option you choose — child seats ¥2,000 each, driver assistance ¥3,000 (Alphard) or ¥4,000 (HiAce) per 30 minutes, an English-fluent driver at +20% of the car fare — or charged only if it actually happens: waiting past the free time at ¥6,000 / ¥8,000 an hour in 15-minute blocks, charter time past your booked hours at the same hourly rate, and ¥10,000 for each night a multi-day charter keeps the driver away.

How much is an airport transfer with RydAgent?
RydAgent charges one price per vehicle, not per person: ¥24,000 from Narita and ¥16,000 from Haneda to central Tokyo in an Alphard (up to 4 passengers), and the HiAce takes up to 9, so a group of 5–9 rides in one car instead of splitting across two taxis. Where we have no driver base near the airport yet, the fixed price includes bringing the car from the nearest base, so a short ride there can cost more than a longer one near Tokyo; each airport page explains it. The table shows each airport's main-city fare; every other destination is on that airport's page.

How much is a private driver by the hour?
A RydAgent private driver is charged by the hour, minimum 8 hours. 8 hours in an Alphard come to ¥56,000 when the whole day stays inside Tokyo's 23 wards or Osaka city, or ¥64,000 when any part of it goes outside (¥64,000 / ¥72,000 in a HiAce). Tolls, parking and fuel are included.
| Where the day goes | Alphard · up to 4 | HiAce · up to 9 | Which rate applies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inside Tokyo's 23 wards or Osaka city, all day | ¥7,000/hour | ¥8,000/hour | City rate — start, every stop and the end are all inside the city (Haneda counts as Tokyo; Narita, Kansai and Itami airports do not). |
| Any part of the day outside the city — Mt Fuji, Hakone, Nikko, Kamakura, Kyoto, and everywhere else in Japan | ¥8,000/hour | ¥9,000/hour | Outside rate — one stop outside the city is enough, even if you start and finish at a Tokyo hotel. |
- Running past the booked hours is charged at the same hourly rate, in 15-minute blocks; under 15 minutes is free.
- If the car has to drive out empty from the nearest partner base to your start point, or back to it from where you finish, half of that empty driving time is added at the hourly rate, rounded down to the half hour — a charter that starts and ends near a base adds nothing. The booking form shows it before you pay.
- A charter that finishes somewhere other than where it started is never priced below the fixed transfer between those two points; any difference shows as a “Long-distance fee” line before you pay.
What is included — and what costs extra?
All-inclusive — tolls, parking, fuel and taxes on every ride, a name board at airport arrivals, and free waiting of 90 minutes from actual landing on airport pickups or 30 minutes on other rides. No tip expected.
| Option | Price | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Child seat, infant seat or booster | ¥2,000 each | Any type, same price. Free on multi-day trips that include a charter day — note the seats in the booking instead of ticking the add-on. |
| Driver assistance | ¥3,000 Alphard · ¥4,000 HiAce / 30 min | Help at an IC-card machine, hotel check-in or airline kiosk, meeting you inside a train station (otherwise the driver waits by the car), or one extra stop on a transfer. Book it in advance; 30-minute minimum. |
| English-fluent driver | +20% of the car fare | Most drivers have basic English and use a translation app to communicate; a fluent-English driver is subject to availability, and the difference is refunded if one cannot be arranged. English support on WhatsApp comes with every ride. |
| Chinese-speaking driver | Free | Most RydAgent drivers speak Chinese, so most rides can be done in Chinese — ask in the booking notes. If it cannot be arranged for your ride, we tell you in advance. |
| Extra waiting | ¥6,000 Alphard · ¥8,000 HiAce / hour | Only after the free allowance (90 min from actual landing on airport pickups, 30 min on other rides), in 15-minute blocks; under 15 minutes is free. |
| Driver's overnight stay (multi-day charters) | ¥10,000 / night | Charged for each night a multi-day charter keeps the driver away from base; it covers the driver's lodging. |
| Name board at arrivals | Included | Standard on airport pickups; if airport conditions ever prevent it, the driver sends a photo and directions instead. |
Do prices change at night, on holidays or in peak season?
No. A RydAgent fare is the same at 3 a.m. as at noon, and the same in Golden Week, Obon and New Year as in a quiet week — there is no night surcharge and no seasonal surcharge.
There is no rush fee for late bookings either. A transfer can be booked up to 2 hours before pickup; a pickup address more than 50 km from the nearest partner base needs 24 hours' notice (airports are exempt). When you book online between 20:00 and 08:00 Japan time, the earliest pickup is the next 10:00 a.m., and an hourly charter has to be booked by 20:00 Japan time the day before. Need a car sooner? Message us on WhatsApp — it can usually be arranged.
There are also no discounts or promo codes. Everyone pays the same public price, so there is nothing to wait for or hunt down.
How do I pay, and when can I cancel for free?
Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay when you book. For trips more than 48 hours away you can choose Reserve now, pay later: your card is saved but not charged today, and the fare is charged automatically 48 hours before pickup.
Free cancellation runs until 24 hours before pickup — even after a Reserve-now charge, cancelling before that point refunds the full fare. Use the cancel link in your booking email. Inside 24 hours the fare is not refundable, with one exception: if the airline cancels your flight or moves it to another day, you choose between a free change to the new flight and a full refund — even inside 24 hours. This covers airport pickups and drop-offs booked with a flight number; send us the airline's notice or your new flight details.
Fares are never paid in cash; only on-the-day extras such as extra waiting can be settled in cash, by card link on the spot, or by link after you reach your hotel.
What if the driver doesn't show?
If a RydAgent driver doesn't show for a transfer, you get the fare back, we cover the replacement taxi or train you actually take, and we add ¥10,000 on top. On a charter, you get double your money back. We contact you first — you never have to claim.
Licensed commercial vehicles, professional drivers
Every RydAgent ride — including rides run by partner companies — uses a car licensed for paid passenger service (it carries green number plates) and a driver with a professional passenger licence, and carries commercial passenger insurance. In Japan only cars and drivers with both may carry paying passengers; private “white-plate” cars taking fares are illegal, and we never use them.
Pricing FAQ
Does a RydAgent airport pickup price include tolls, tax and tip?
Yes. The price you see is the price you pay — tolls, parking, fuel and taxes are all included, and meet & greet with a name board at arrivals is standard. Free waiting is 90 minutes from your actual landing. Tipping is never expected — never required. The only extras are options you choose yourself, such as child seats or waiting beyond the free allowance. Waiting past the free allowance is ¥6,000/hour for an Alphard and ¥8,000/hour for a HiAce, in 15-minute blocks — and your driver does not leave when it runs out: if he has another transfer after yours, we reassign it so he can keep waiting. The only exception: if we get no reply from you on any channel the day before and on the day itself, the driver may leave after waiting 120 minutes.

Is there a night surcharge on RydAgent transfers?
No. RydAgent prices are the same at any hour of the day or night, and the same in peak seasons and holidays. Free waiting is 90 minutes from actual landing on airport pickups and 30 minutes on other rides.
How much is a child seat with RydAgent?
RydAgent charges ¥2,000 per child seat — infant seat, child seat or booster, same price. On multi-day trips that include a charter day, child seats are free: list them in the booking notes instead of ticking the add-on.
How much does a private driver cost per hour in Japan with RydAgent?
RydAgent charters start at ¥7,000/hour for an Alphard and ¥8,000/hour for a HiAce when the whole day stays inside Tokyo's 23 wards or Osaka city, and ¥8,000 / ¥9,000 per hour when any part of the day goes outside — Mt Fuji, Hakone, Nikko, Kyoto and the rest of Japan. The minimum is 8 hours, with tolls, parking and fuel included.
What happens to my RydAgent booking if my flight is cancelled?
If the airline cancels your flight or moves it to another day, RydAgent lets you choose: a free change to your new flight or a full refund — even inside 24 hours of pickup. This applies to airport pickups and drop-offs booked with a flight number; send us the airline's notice or your new flight details.
Why do some airports cost more with RydAgent even for a short drive?
Because RydAgent has no driver base near those airports yet, so the fixed price includes bringing the car from the nearest base. Each airport page says which base serves it and compares the airport bus and taxi, so you can judge for yourself.
Do I need to tip a RydAgent driver?
No. RydAgent drivers never expect a tip — it is never required.
Does RydAgent offer discounts or promo codes?
No. RydAgent sells at one public fixed price for everyone, with no promo codes, coupons or member pricing.
